Microstory 1898: There Was a Time When I Thought I’d Be Huge

< > Table of Contents

There was a time when I thought I’d be huge

My words would be read all over the world

As it turns out, I’m nothing but a stooge

With my head low, like an achievemephobe

I say I’ve tried, but that’s not really true

I never put much effort into it

I queried agents, but only a few

I guess I thought I’d be an instant hit

But I see now, it’s time to get to work

To focus on the goals I hold most dear

To scratch and crawl myself out of the murk

And spread my voice beyond the blogosphere

I’ll still write here, and let you read for free

But I deserve to sometimes charge a fee
